Answer:

1.6

Explanation:

Given that,

Stock has a return = 12%.

Risk-free rate = 4%

Expected market return = 9%

Stock return = Risk free return + Beta of Stock × (Market return - Risk free return)

12% = 4% + Beta of Stock × (9% - 4%)

8% = Beta of Stock × (5%)

8% ÷ 5% = Beta of Stock

1.6 = Beta of Stock

Therefore, the beta for the firm is 1.6.

Lelu [443]

Answer:

They would need to buy $64,068.981 in U.S treasury bonds on Ava's second birthday to ultimately provide $120,000 for college expenses in 16 years.

Explanation:

The initial amount to be invested in order to yield $120,000 after 16 years can be expressed as;

F.V=P.V(1+R)^n

where;

F.V=future value of investment

P.V=present value of investment

R=annual interest rate

n=number of years

In our case;

F.V=$120,000

P.V=unknown

R=4%=4/100=0.04

n=16 years

replacing;

120,000=P.V(1+0.04)^(16)

120,000=P.V(1.04)^16

120,000=1.873 P.V

P.V=120,000/1.873

P.V=$64,068.981

They would need to buy $64,068.981 in U.S treasury bonds on Ava's second birthday to ultimately provide $120,000 for college expenses in 16 years.

Suppose Stark Ltd. just issued a dividend of $2.33 per share on its common stock. The company paid dividends of $2.00, $2.08, $2
klasskru [66]

Answer:

arithmetic average growth rate = (4% + 3.37% + 5.12% + 3.1%) / 4 = 3.9%

we need to find the required rate or return (RRR) in the following formula:

stock price = expected dividend / (RRR - growth rate)

  • expected dividend = $2.33 x 1.039 = $2.42
  • stock price = $55
  • growth rate = 0.039

55 = 2.42 / (RRR - 0.039)

RRR - 0.039 = 2.42 / 55 = 0.044

RRR = 0.083 = 8.3%

geometric average growth rate = [(1.04 x 1.0337 x 1.0512 x 1.031)¹/⁴] - 1 = 3.89%

again we need to find the required rate or return (RRR) in the following formula:

stock price = expected dividend / (RRR - growth rate)

  • expected dividend = $2.33 x 1.0389 = $2.42
  • stock price = $55
  • growth rate = 0.0389

55 = 2.42 / (RRR - 0.0389)

RRR - 0.0389 = 2.42 / 55 = 0.044

RRR = 0.0829 = 8.29%

Bank A pays 10% interest compounded annually on deposits, while Bank B pays 9% compounded daily. a. Based on the EAR (or EFF%),
Pie

Answer:

Bank A should be chosen.

Explanation:

Given:

Effective annual rate (EAR) of bank A = 10%

Bank B pays 9% compounded daily. EAR of bank B is calculated below:

EAR = ( 1+\frac{i}{n})^{n} -1

Where, i is 0.09

            n is compounding period that is 365 (since it is compounded daily)

EAR = ( 1+\frac{0.09}{365})^{365} -1

       = 1.0942 - 1

       = 0.0942 or 9.42%

Bank B pays EAR of 9.42%

Based on EAR, Bank A should be selected as it pays higher EAR of 10%.
